The city of Idaho Falls started out as Taylor’s Crossing on the Montana Trail, a timber frame bridge built across the Snake River in 1865. In 1891 the town voted to change its name to Idaho Falls, in reference to the rapids that existed below the bridge. Today I drove down there in search of a decent fish sandwich.
I actually finally found one at a joint called Scotty’s Drive In. I had them fix it up the way I like (lettuce, tomatoes and onion) and ate it while I cruised downtown.
This place is an interesting eclectic mix of old brick architecture and trendy little businesses trying to stay alive. It was midday and there were way more people driving through than walking. I passed a couple of bars and the smell of mixed alcohol wafted from wide open doors and a homeless lady was changing her clothes in an alley.
I then drove a mile up the road to a super Walmart, did some shopping and came home.
Those are some nice looking buildings. They gave the town a very pretty name. You got some really nice pictures.
Pretty cool old buildings. Great architecture. Love the brick look. I am glad you found a good fish sandwich. :-)
